Book Note: Todd S. Berzon, Classifying Christians: Ethnography, Heresiology, and the Limits of Knowledge (Oakland: University of California Press, 2016)

Maldonado Rivera: "One of Berzon's constant reminders is that powerful ideologies and strategies of representation often strive to hide their own seams and points of tension, but that it is in the process of highlighting these very points of tension that they find themselves at their most reproducible but also at their most frail."

Book Note: Mette Bundvad, Time in the Book of Ecclesiastes (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2015)

Petersen: "This monograph, full of well-crafted prose and clearly presented argumentation, should be regarded as an important contribution to scholarship of Qohelet and the Hebrew Bible more broadly. It turns the spotlight on one of the recurrent yet underappreciated themes in Qohelet, and raises helpful questions about the presence of "meta-reflection" within ancient Jewish literature."
